Hon Chairperson, to illustrate the strategic and significant role our missions play in the reconstruction and development of our country, I wish to site work of one of our missions in Germany. Our economic diplomacy has resulted in the increased of South African exports from R125 million in 2017 to R133 million in 2018, translating to 11% increment. We further increased our export orders for beverages, fine food and meat to R893 million and R372 million in orders for fruit and vegetables in 2018.
